As we enter the 2024 triathlon season, I enter my 10th season with Iron Fit Endurance! I’ve been reflecting on my 10 years coaching triathletes and it is incredible to see how far it has come and how different it is than I ever imagined. The people I’ve had the pleasure to work with and the things I’ve witnessed really make my job the best in the world! I’ve coached great athletes who later became top pros, people who never did physical activity until they were adults and everyone in between. I’ve witnessed athletes of mine becoming the best of friends and I personally have met and become close friends with so many of the people I coach. I’ve been inspired watching athletes of mine battle cancer with nothing but a positive attitude. I've had an athlete of mine organize his own Ironman when races were cancelled during Covid. I’ve coached husbands and wives, and their kids! I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring a 23-year-old who had big dreams, but questionable follow through to become an incredible athlete into his 30's. I’ve raced in Kona with a group of my athletes that qualified to be there too! I’ve been amazed as people with crazy lives manage to do it all, fitting in training family and long work hours. Athletes with ailments, like heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis work with myself and their doctors to do everything they can to stay active, healthy and accomplish their goals instead of just throwing in the towel. My group is the BEST around and I think I may be the luckiest coach on the planet.
THANK YOU EVERYONE who I’ve had the pleasure of working with for the past 10 years. Iron Fit Endurance 2014-2024 and still going strong! Here are some of my favorite pictures throughout the years (too many to choose from!)!
